Fans of the Fallout series have been flocking to Nexus Mods en masse following the release of Amazon's Fallout TV show, resulting in a surge of mod downloads. The increased interest has led to the community manager of Nexus Mods noting a significant drag in website performance, particularly in download speeds. With Fallout 4 and Fallout New Vegas experiencing spikes in downloads, Nexus Mods served over 6.3 petabytes of mod files to users in just a few days, averaging at a massive 194 gigabits per second. This level of traffic is likened to downloading Skyrim Special Edition twice every second for several consecutive days. Nexus Mods admits that while they have sufficient capacity for typical demand, the site struggles with the short-term traffic peaks and will continue to manage resources as effectively as possible without making unsustainable financial investments. Fallout fans are encouraged to explore various mods to enhance their gaming experience as Nexus Mods remains a central hub for the modding community.
